Mate an update please

Have they arrived and are they OK.

Do you have to paint them at all?

A small bonus for non-Canadian residents:  As I placed my order, I found that the price was in Canadian dollars.  So when the US-Canadian exchange rate was applied my total dropped by about $4 and change.

I can't wait to get them and get my axles looking good again!

Thanks again Greg for providing a link as to where I could buy them.

Just came across this and thanks again Greg - you have come to the rescue.

A bit pricey but they are the only ones available at the moment

Thanks Greg!  They're a bit spendy with shipping, but my search has finally come to an end.

Thank you for the link!!!

GLX models makes a number of Aristo replacement parts.

http://glxscalemodels.com/aristocraft-3d-printed-replacement-parts-/

it's on this page... and you have to buy 4 and yes it's 10 bucks, but you cannot find them for sale from Aristo.

Aristo Craft G-scale bearing caps

Aside from EBAY - does anyone know where I might be able to get some (actually just one) Aristo Craft bearing caps for a G-scale truck?

These are tough little buggers to find! Stick out tongue
